About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!
“Sofía was amazing and treated my babies like her own. I recommend her as a cat sitter. She played with them and left a useful comment about the water filter, which I really appreciated”
“Giselle is responsible, caring and dependable. She quickly responded to the booking request. She went at the agreed time and followed all directions. She communicated with me and we were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries. I highly recommend her .”
“This is the third time that I have used Arianna’s services for my cat, Olivia. Arianna is absolutely wonderful to work with, flexible, and dependable. It also helps that Olivia loves her as well!”
“Andria has been absolutely incredible with my cat Masyn. She handles his medications, grooming, stretching, and physical therapy with so much care and professionalism. Even our veterinary team was impressed by the level of attention and support she provides. She truly goes above and beyond, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better person to help care for him during his recovery. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I truly love caring for them, especially dogs and cats. I have experience taking care of pets for my friends and family, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them love and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy and comfortable Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with pets. I have been around animals my whole life because I love them, especially dogs and cats. always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I give them lots of love, fresh water, playtime, and attention. I truly love animals, especially dogs and cats, and I care for them as if they were my own.
“Sophia is the sweetest and most caring sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! This is my second time of many and I couldn’t be happier! My three babies love her so much and are always happy to see her! She is very communicative and sends the cutest pictures! 100% recommend to everyone! My fur babies have never been happier with anyone!!”
“Shawn and his kids provided amazing care for our dog Rosie while we were out of town. We would definitely definitely trust them to take care of Rosie again. Great communication and you could tell they love animals.”
About: Hi my name is Katherine and I’ve gone through a lot of dogs over the years. Over that period of time I’ve learned how to walk,feed,play,train and get the attention of a loving dog. People ask me why I love my dogs so much and I’ll tell them that my dog can show me the greatest love even when I’m down so it makes me want to love my dogs back even when he does something wrong I know I can forgive my dog because I love him too much and I know that your dog will love me the same way my dog loves me and I’m sure you’ll love me too. I welcome all kind of Dogs because for me all Dogs are the same🐶💕
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
About: Raising my very own senior lady, a mid-size terrier-mix, for the last decade and counting - experienced with dogs that have separation anxiety and need a little more comfort than the rest I’m currently working full-time but located locally in the gables, so I’ll have plenty of time in the late afternoons and evenings after 6pm for walks and pups! Weekends are usually open for the mornings and afternoons, as well. I can cater to your fur baby’s daily routine, maintaining their preferred feeling schedules and walks, keeping their day structured so they don’t ever feel off and can rest knowing all is well (even with mom and dad away)!
About: I know how important it is to feel completely at peace leaving your pet with someone else and that’s what I aim to give you! I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl and will treat your dog with the same love and care that I give my dog! You’ll always get updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full time but work from home Fridays. I’m looking to occupy weekends only with pet care and giving them exercise and play time. I will take time to learn your pets routine and give them a safe environment. I follow feeding and walking schedules so your pets day feels familiar. I make sure they get lots of attention and patience especially if they’re feeling anxious!
About: New Clients: All dogs regardless of sex must submit valid rabies certificate/documentation before they will be approved (Miami Dade county law requires all dogs over 4 months to have rabies vaccine), any dog regardless of sex that is not fully UTD (including bordetella) will be automatically declined. All male dogs must also submit documentation proving they are neutered for approval. Unneutered Male dogs will be automatically declined. No Exceptions!!!!! I've had dogs most of my life since I was 8 years old (currently on dogs #3 and #4). I'm a natural with dogs (some say I'm a dog whisperer) and love them so much (I love giving belly rubs). I own two Siberian Husky that are well cared for so they are my references. Services offered: My house: Boarding, Walking, Grooming (Bath, Blow, Dry, and Nail Clipping only, No Haircuts/Shaving or Teeth Cleaning). Takes me about an hour to groom and dry each of my dogs using professional grooming equipment (Grooming is extra). Note: Boarding, Day Care, Walking, Dog Park and Grooming are all seperate services, so each has their own separate charge. If you want Walking, Dog Park, or Grooming Services it must be paid for on top of the Boarding/Day Care rate or service will not be performed. Drop Off / Pickup rate is for the first 10 miles from my house. Each additional mile is an additional $2.00 per mile (rounded up). there's 4 trips involved to pickup and dropoff as it is 2 round trips. For example if your address is 10 miles from me that means I have to drive 40 miles in total to pickup and dropoff your pooch so your total pickup/drop off rate would be $85 ($25 for the first 10 miles + $60 for the remaining 30 miles). Total Distance is determined by the fastest route during rush hour traffic on the day of booking request. Owner is responsible for all tolls for pickup/dropoff aswell which will be added at the time of booking. Your house: Drop In Visits, Walking My property is 6,240 sq.ft so plenty of space for your dog(s) to run around and play. The backyard is Siberian Husky escape proof with concrete all the way around the backyard fence so your dog(s) can't dig or find a way out (unless your dog can jump a 6ft high fence). if your dog is an outdoor dog you can leave him/her in my backyard without any worries of escaping as there are two locked gates in the backyard and I'm the only person who has the key. I specialize in Siberian Husky, if you own Siberian Husky this is the place for your husky with someone who is capable of handling such a special breed. I work full time but my job is very flexible, allows me to work whenever I want and lots of traveling around the city which allows for a quick 15 minute potty break/feeding and go back to work mid-day if I'm near home. Safety is my #1 priority (this is why I require all dogs to submit their valid rabies, UTD, and neutered documentation. When your dog first arrives on the property the first thing I do is introduce your dog to all the dogs on the property to see how your dog responds to each dog. If your dog(s) has problems getting along with other dogs it is my job to find a suitable group for your dog to spend their stay with. In the event your dog cannot find a suitable group then your dog will not interact with the other dogs or groups and will be placed in their own group for the remainder of their stay. During mealtime your dog will be temporarily isolated from the other dogs (in a crate or in a room by themself) until they finish (this is to prevent fights with other dogs over resource guarding and to insure your dog only eats the food they are use to). Once your dog has finished only then will your dog be allowed to return to the group. When I am away from home all dogs are isolated from each other (unless they came from the same household) until I return.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in West Miami is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Miami
Nadia is terrific and we will be happy to work with her again. Our dog is very sensitive and timid, but he warmed up to Nadia right away because she is kind, caring, patient, and loves dogs. Nadia sent us helpful updates and photos and is superb at communicating. Thank you!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Bella while I was away! She came by for drop-in visits exactly as scheduled and made sure Bella was well taken care of every time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear that Bella was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention during each visit. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Andrea was great with our little Bogey! Always checked in and gave me updates and even started helping keep up with his training (sit, paw, down, and ringing the bells to go potty outside). I appreciated Andrea’s help and will definitely use her again! Highly recommend and will definitely use again soon
Courtney has been the best to work with. She is extremely helpful and is always helping us out with Bear. I also love how attentive she is with my dog. I am always receiving many updates and messages from her! Bear is always so happy after visiting with Courtney, and is always excited to see her. Highly recommend her watching anyone’s animal!
Gabriela was everything I look for in a sitter and more! My dog can take some time to warm up to people but Gaby made it so easy for her to be comfortable! I appreciated the thorough visit summaries and photos that were sent, it put me at ease so I had no worried while being away!
Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!
Sophia is the sweetest and most caring sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! This is my second time of many and I couldn’t be happier! My three babies love her so much and are always happy to see her! She is very communicative and sends the cutest pictures! 100% recommend to everyone! My fur babies have never been happier with anyone!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Miami stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Miami choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Miami with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
